Default New Stem Cell treatment...
This sounds promising :-) I am anxious to hear how Kim Sellars does, keeping my positive thoughts and prayers heading her way!

Yes Mesenchymal (Mesenchymal Stromal Cells my neuro called it) is very promising. Best part is NO chemo required before they reinject the mesenchymal cells.
I've told a MS neuro specialist about it last year, he said "interesting".
Asked my Tysabri hematologist/oncologist if he heard of mesenchymal stromal cells, he said leave off the stromal part cause stromal means something like soup, but said he didn't know much about msc's.

A Dr in Chicago will perform it for 30 grand I believe. Thanks for post and thanks to dr performing trial & lady getting treatment out in public eye!

Hoping and praying that this is not another one of those stem cell, money
making frauds, like the one, the FDA banned, years ago. Holding my breath.
